Winter Farmer Learning

I told one of my winter part time jobs that I would be out of town for a few days for several Fruit and Vegetable Growers conferences.  Their response...."I had no idea there was such a thing."  Of coarse there is!  I feel pretty confident that you can find a conference on just about anything you have an interest in.

Here are some photos of my adventures.  Most of these are from the Mid Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Growers meeting in Hershey, PA.

I spent a lot of time taste testing for the Cider Contest

This class name made me laugh! "SDW" is a bug that is a big issue for small fruit growers.  Bugs are part of life my friends!
